The Ladder

The latest album by the progressive rock group Yes. Features the lineup of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Billy Sherwood, and Igor Khoroshev. There are two longer songs on this album, Homeworld and Face to Face. They are by no means epic but have a different structure from most pop songs. The album has a world music sound, including some samba and African chant influences. The album cover features a Roger Dean painting of a landscape filled with strange, purple cones. Some of the songs from this album were featured in the strategy game Homeworld.
